| Soundwave said: We'll see who's right, if its at E3 on Wii U then so be it, but I have a feeling it won't be for Wii U. 3-4 million is small potatoes, it would easily double that as a launch title for the new system (especially because it would be an evergreen seller rising with the userbase). The Wii U is nothing like the Saturn either. It's more comparable to the XBox (the original), which MS supported from 2001-2005 and was succeeded by the XBox 360 that had no trouble selling and no one complained about that at all. So that whole "b ... but, Sega!" arguement can just stay flushed down the toilet. When Nintendo makes a Nintendo CD, a Nintendo 32X, and a Nintendo Saturn in a three year stretch and doesn't properly support any of them, then you would have a point there. Most people really only got their NES in North America after 1987, which means the SNES succeeded the NES in most people's eyes in 3-4 years too. That didn't bother anyone either. |
Except the NES came out in 85 in the west which still means it was on the market for 5-6 years, this argument of people not getting it at launch to try and back your point is hilariously flawed, for Japan the NES was out in 83 so by the time the SNES arrived it was on the market for a total of 7-8 years, MS cut the original Xbox and then began paying incentives for third parties to develop for the 360 as well as selling the console at a massive loss to get it to sell well and in the end it still finished third, do you really think Nintendo can take the same approach? Even Sony struggled to take similar losses and they're a big electronic company, it's a broken logic you're suggesting there as it would relegate the Wii U to being like the Saturn hence the comparison.
3-4m isn't small potatoes when you don't over inflate your budget and you're efficient in development which is why the first party have good returns at those sales, want to know why the logic is even further flawed why miss out on 3-4m sales on the current platform? The next platform's game is going to get that as well so why skip 3-4m this gen it would be like someone saying Zelda should skip a gen to do better in the next.
